OP: Beginner to Master

If I bet as a bluff, I should be thinking "am I getting better hands to fold? Is it likely that he will fold x% of the time to a y sized bet to make it +EV?". If I bet for value, I should be thinking "am I getting worst hands to call? Am I ahead of enough of his range that this is a good value bet?".

 I was wondering where the hell you went. Open the book and start studying. However, there's no reason not to jump back to remember the feeling of stacking fish. 2NL is unbelievably and you should be able to own it with ease.

That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

 i seriously thought you were dead.

people need to write their username and password in their wills and get a family member to log on and post deaths in the commune so we know what's going on.
"Once we reach a certain level of mastery, we see there are higher levels and challenges. If we are disciplined and patient, we proceed. At each higher level, new pleasures and insights await us--ones not even suspected when we started out. We can take this as far as we want--in any human activity there is always a higher level to which we can aspire."

 So my thread on my return has taken a dark turn. Hmm. Haha, anyways...

I'm thinking of getting a subscription to Grinderschool.com cause I wanna start learning through videos at first this time around. I know a lot of people on here have been on it so I'm gonna ask your opinions on it and if there's a different site I should try instead.

GS is def worth the price of admission. If you're still at 10nl or below, just get the micro subscription imo. Unless of course you grind sngs as well, at which case it would be a good idea to get the full subscription. When I was struggling at 2nl (Not even kidding, I was ) the GS vids helped bring me out of the slump. Jym's lecture vids are especially good.

I did the microstakes at GS (thanks to slevin really) and it were very helpful. Spenda, Jyms, and Coderedz were very helpful. And for $10 you just can't beat it.
